Art. 76 Public Health Act (LSP) - Practice in a Dependent Capacity [2, 10, 13, 26, 31, 33]

1. The practice of the profession of physician and dentist under employment is subject to authorization by the department. The rules and conditions governing independent practice apply by analogy. When the physician holds only the federal diploma or a title deemed equivalent, they may only practice under the direct supervision of a physician authorized to practice in the same discipline.

2. Physicians holding only the federal diploma or an equivalent title are exempt from authorization when they are undergoing postgraduate training within the meaning of Article 25 of the Medical Professions Act [Z]. They must practice under the direct supervision of a physician with an authorization to practice in the same discipline.

3. The practice under employment of other health professions mentioned in this law does not require authorization. However, it requires the possession of a title recognized in Switzerland in accordance with an international agreement, federal law, or an intercantonal agreement. Articles 119 paragraph 6, 122b paragraph 2, and 122e paragraph 7 are reserved.

4. The practice under employment of a health profession within the meaning of paragraph 3 is subject to authorization when the professional assumes supervisory tasks or practices independently in a professional manner. The rules and conditions governing independent practice apply by analogy in this case.

4bis. The department may subject other health professions within the meaning of paragraph 3 to authorization.

5. The department informs employers about the evaluation of diplomas as well as on cases of prohibition of which it is aware.

6. Articles 86 and 93 are reserved.
